Chapter 1856: Who knew that a strong army was coming to Jincheng, and thousands of arrows flew into the ragged formation
After that, as soon as Shen Mo arrived at the city of Jinzhou, he immediately ordered the entire army to attack and capture Jinzhou City!
The woods on the banks of Xiaoling River were cut down in large quantities, making a ladder. The newly renovated steel-arm crossbows of the Shandong Legion gathered into an army formation and were neatly listed under the city.
A great war came under Jinzhou City, with war clouds spreading!
...
The name of the Eastern Liao garrison in Jinzhou City is Xiao Dalu. He was a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom who rebelled with Yelu Liuge.
Xiao Dalu is thick and strong in all fours, and is about 40 years old this year.
What is inconsistent with his rough and arrogant appearance is that this man is quite knowledgeable and very wise. Therefore, he was able to serve as the garrison of Jinzhou, a strategic city.
There are 4,000 Eastern Liao troops in his city, including 1,500 horse troops. The Liaodong area is vast and sparsely populated, with a total of only 600,000 residents. The sparsely populated area is almost the same as Shandong, which has experienced decades of war.
Under this situation, the number of Dongliao troops was not large. The situation where these 4,000 people guarded a city was because Jinzhou was a key place and strategically important towns received such treatment.
Now Xiao Dalu is standing on the top of Jinzhou City, Jinzhou, looking at the army array below.
I saw dust and smoke rolling below. The soldiers were ragged in rags and the armor was chaotic, and they looked like a big pot of rusty rice porridge, which was gusting and boiling there.
"The formation is neat..." At this time, Xiao Dalu stood on the top of the city and looked down, muttering to himself: "It seems that this is an uprising army composed of a group of refugees?"
"Just relying on these mobs, I want to come and touch my Jinzhou City...haha!"
Xiao Dalu looked at the army below in a distance and arranged the formation 200 steps away, but he didn't feel nervous.
In addition to deploying the city's defenders to defend the city, Xiao Dalu also asked his 1,500 cavalry to gather in the city to prepare for war. He waited for the opponent's attack to be frustrated, and then sent the cavalry out to disperse these peasant troops...
At this moment, the sound of the trumpet outside the city was heard, and the enemy troops under the city began to attack the city!
...
Rows of wooden ladders that had just been cut off and were carrying snow-white new stubble, rushing out of the army under the city in groups and starting to head towards the Jinzhou city wall.
At this time, Xiao Dalu looked at the soldiers under the city and saw that their pace was clumsy and slow, and their ragged armor was rusty.
He smiled disdainfully, raised his hand to prepare his archer for a salvo.
However, at this moment, as the opponent approached the distance of a hundred steps below the city, ran forward twenty or thirty steps, and was about to enter the range of the archers in the city.
Suddenly, Xiao Dalu heard a loud "boom!"
When he stood on the city in surprise and looked into the distance, he saw a rain of arrows like locusts suddenly rising into the sky among two huge army formations of more than 10,000 people lined up under the city!
As soon as he saw this rain of arrows climbing towards the sky with an extremely vigorous momentum, Xiao Dalu was like a blow on the back of his head, and his eyes suddenly turned black!
"I'll go! What kind of arrow is this? How can I shoot so far?"
